DURHAM -- Durham residents are invited to experience life as a kid again during a charitable event.

On Saturday, May 31, the Boys and Girls Club of Durham will be holding the club’s national fundraiser, Capitol One’s “Race for Kids.” Funds from the event will go towards the club’s mission to benefit youth and families in Durham Region.

The race is open to Durham residents ages 18 and up and will take place in Ajax. Teams of four will compete in a series of kid-themed challenges designed to embrace the adventures of childhood. There is an entry fee of $10 per person and each team must raise the suggested minimum of $360 to be eligible for winning the race.

Awards will be given to the teams that raise the most money, and for the best dressed teams. After the race there will be an after-party at which lunch will be provided and winners will be announced.

The club is looking for volunteers over the age of 16 to help with setup, serving food and beverages and the post-event celebration. Volunteers who raise money are eligible to win the top fundraising prize, and can register for consideration at raceforkids.ca/Get-Involved/Volunteer-Registration.aspx.
